But Pelosi et al have said the incumbent President with massive support and actually won last time should accept the results and the only way he will win is by cheating.

Do you have an ounce of introspection? I know you have a ton of projection.

That one has always annoyed me. It bugs my perfectionism that Reagan won 49 states instead of a clean 50-state sweep, all because of three thousand pesky votes in Minnesota.........sigh.

If Biden has to fight to keep Minnesota, he is in serious trouble. The way I see it regardless if Trump takes Minnesota or not, Trump is making Biden fight and defend a blue state. The GOP needs to learn some lessons about campaigning. Playing defense means its just a matter of time before losing that state. We have seen red states turn blue and Trump has turned blue to red.

If you want to keep a state red and/or turn a blue state red, go on the offensive and reach out to the voters. After this election I would certainly hope the GOP shores up support in the rust belt then go after blue strongholds. The GOP doesn't have to win them but if they could make democrats scramble to defend versus throwing money at Georgia, Arizona and Texas, they would hold the upper hand.

They need to rethink their future riots strategy. That hasn't played too well in Minnesota.

Agreed. I don’t think Biden is leading as much the pollsters are claiming...in fact, the opposite, I think Biden has some issues and now they are reacting to it.

Perhaps citizens are tired of watching their cities destroyed while their legislators stand by and watch. Can't imagine that they would applaud the erosion of their police forces either. Maybe livelihoods and safety have finally "trumped" over the same old promises from the Dems. that never seem to materialize.

2000: Bush won Texas, Gore lost Tennessee
1996: Clinton won Arkansas, Dole won Kansas
1992: Clinton won Arkansas, Bush won Texas
1988: Bush won Texas, Dukakis won Massachusetts
1984: Reagan won California, Carter won Georgia
1976: Carter won Georgia, Ford won Michigan
1972: Nixon won California, McGovern lost South Dakota
1968: Nixon lost New York, Humphrey won Minnesota, Wallace won Alabama

Those citizens will vote for Biden. They feel guilty as if they were the ones who knelt on Floyd's neck.

I've talked to some of them. It amazes me.

If Trump couldn’t beat Hillary in a state that was in a region full of major upsets (like the neighboring states), it’s doubtful that Trump will beat Biden who is in a far stronger position across the region.

Not sure that is the case.

The iron/steel region of MN has backed Trump.

If Biden was as strong there as Clinton, that wouldn’t have happened.

They didn’t do that in 2016.

hahahahahahaha

I remember when you faked like you were "moderate" and had the long winded posts to show how "analytical" you are.


You people always show yourselves eventually.

Now every post is pro leftist shill blather.

Yaasssss

Why has MN or WI been notoriously blue?! These seem like hard working, live off the land kind of people.

I guess I always project TX onto those states bordering Canada. These metro areas are fricking shite up.

Can get good odds if anyone in this thread truly believes Minn goes red.

I want to hear Trump crowing about being the first Republican to flip MN since the “late great Richard Nixon” over the next 4 years so badly

That might be the most ignorant statement I have ever read

that and Republicans do not believe science.

To those who believe this, three questions

1) How many genders are there?
2) When does life begin?
3) How long has it been since the last Ice Age, and has the world been warming since then?
